Description of the Invention (1) ~ &quot; Technical Examples, This invention relates to X-ray photomasks, and especially to having good bending resistance And define a universal size mask for any desired exposure range. Invention IC (IC) technology has evolved to the point where a large number of complete circuits can be fabricated on the same semiconductor wafer using planar technology. Typically, lithography is used to incorporate circuits onto a wafer. Each circuit may include a large number of components, such as transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc., that are electrically interconnected in a preselected configuration. After the circuit components are formed on the wafer, the wafer is measured and cut into individual wafers containing the selected circuit array, further processed, and encapsulated into memory, logic, or other. Lithography is widely used to form circuit patterns on semiconductor wafers that require good resolution and high yield. Using optical stepplng technology, the pattern that is initially formed on the mask substrate can be optically transferred to the photoresist layer on the wafer using step and repeat methods. Stepping and repeating methods include moving a mask containing a pattern for a portion of the wafer to an unexposed portion of the wafer, and using electromagnetic radiation to image the mask pattern on the wafer. After the pattern is imaged, the wafer is moved and repeatedly exposed. Continue to step and repeat the lithography steps until the entire wafer is exposed. The original lithography technology used a photoresist layer on the wafer, and used ultraviolet or natural light to expose the case b on the wafer. However, the ultraviolet and natural light technologies have limitations on the degree of innovation. The final resolution obtained in the corrosion inhibitor is particularly limited by the wavelength of the incident light. Partly due to this limitation, the development of x_ray stone M for the use of ⑽ ____ _4_ ί paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 《格 (―21〇 &gt; &lt; 297 public works ^ — -—— ----- ----- Zhuang Yi ------ Order ------ line (please read »Notes on the back ¾ before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (The shorter wavelength of χ_ rays exposes a suitable pattern in the corrosion inhibitor. The wavelength range of rays is generally from about (^ 丨 to 1.0 nm), which can significantly improve the resolution and Yield of the circuit of each wafer. In X-ray lithography, a ray source, such as a synchrotron, is used to direct a strong parallel beam of X-rays through a ray mask over the photoresist layer of the semiconductor wafer. The photomask includes a central, χ-ray transparent area including a selected pattern formed by an X-ray absorbing material. The X-rays expose a pattern corresponding to the χ_ray absorbing material pattern in a photoresist below To form a heart-ray mask used in X-ray lithography, use-by X-ray A flat wafer formed of an opaque material, such as silicon, is used as a substrate. This substrate has the use of conventional techniques, such as diffusing an appropriate dopant into the substrate as a stop (eteh_st () p), Then, pull to the middle of the area. Bond the substrate to the support ring to provide reticle support and stability. Then use techniques such as electroplating to apply the X-ray absorbing material, such as gold, to the appropriate circuit pattern Selectively deposited on the wafer, the upper surface of the area. ^ In another specific example, a thin-speaking servant stone is nitrided or diamond HP growth, and the wafer substrate is etched to growth An X-ray absorption pattern is formed on this layer to form a thin film.

Description of the invention (3) Bulk wafers, plus X-rays, to expose the corresponding anticorrosive pattern on the underlying semiconductor wafer. , Adjust the size of the film in the X-ray photomask to the special wafer size where the photomask is intended to be used. Therefore, the 'wafer manufacturer must have different sizes of films available for its needs.' A variety of film-containing substrates. It is extremely necessary to have a substrate that is large enough to accommodate all wafer sizes of a common or standardized film size. Some attempts have been made, but the results have been limited. The problem is that this general-size film needs to be large enough to accommodate different size patterns for different size wafers. However, the use of such a large film requires a combination of exposure ‘equipment uses a light valve (s h u 11 e 1. S) to avoid unnecessary exposure of adjacent wafers. The use of such light valves is cumbersome, requires experimental pre-exposure to determine the shielding area, and is not always completely effective in preventing at least some of the non-imaging film area and the area adjacent to the desired target area. In addition, Shao Fen's shot at the time of Bo Yue Wu Xiao's free time resulted in increased distortion of the photomask due to no shot loss. Inventing Total Cobalt According to the present invention, it proposes a x-ray photomask that has good distortion resistance and uses a large standardized size film to provide a photomask for a wafer of a desired size. This exposure mask is particularly useful in lithography ^ to expose a desired pattern in a predetermined size exposure area on a wafer, and includes: a) a parallel upper and lower surface, and a x-ray transparent film X-ray opaque substrate on the substrate; b) a layer of X-ray absorbing material on the film containing the desired pattern; and c) at least-part -6-on the upper surface of the X-ray opaque body and the upper surface of the film I ------ ^-^ —— seeds ------, 玎 ------ # * Ϊ (Please read the precautions before filling in this page), u-A7 A7 V.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, X-ray photomasks constructed according to conventional techniques include X-ray opaque substrates 10, which are typically made of monocrystalline wafers or other Formed from a suitable material, ... with a top plan view of a circle on the top. The substrate "0" has substantially the upper and lower surfaces 12 and 14, respectively. It is used as the base material 10 "Yangma horse has a diameter of about 100 mm and a thickness of about 0.625 mm. However, other sizes, especially other diameter wafers can also be used." In the mask substrate process Firstly, an appropriate dopant such as boron, it 1 is rounded into the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 14. The depth of the diffusion depth in the wafer is measured and used as an etch stop in the subsequent etching step. The square central region 20 on the surface M of the crystal F 'is reactively etched through the doped' woodiness' to expose the undoped silicon. Then, the crystal is chemically etched in the undoped region by using an aqueous mixture of ethanolamine and o-phenylene difluoride. A thin stretched film is left behind.

In addition, the present invention can also use other thin materials suitable for X-ray reticle use, such as carbonization attack, nitridation crushing, gemstone and so on. In the manufacturing step of the x-ray photomask, the peripheral area of the substrate 10 is bonded to a ring-shaped support ring 24 formed of glass or other suitable material. The support ring 24 is approximately 0 mm wide and 0 mm thick. And it gives the film area of the substrate 20 strength, integrity and stable tension.

Description of the invention (7) ~ Na 1 &lt; agawa, US Patent No. 4, 8 8 1, 2 5 7 shown. FIG. 3 shows a photomask made according to the present invention. This photomask also contains a ray-ray opaque substrate 10 made of single crystal sand or other suitable material, and has a substantially circular top plan view. The substrate i 0 may also be a hard wafer. Using a previously published same etching technique, a part of the substrate 30 is etched away to form a substantially circular X-ray transparent film 32. However, compared to the teachings of the prior art, the size of this film does not correspond to any special exposure range for a specific size wafer I, but is large enough to accommodate multiple different size exposure ranges for different size wafers. Next, a combined X-ray blocking / thin film strengthening layer 3 4 is deposited on the film, which is a layer that is preferably a Yang-type modulus refractory metal, which substantially inhibits the passage of X-ray radiation, which is about 3 Micron thick. Useful refractory metals include, among others, Ta, TaSi, Taj, and W. The refractory metal may be deposited as a single layer or a combination of multiple layers to form a blocking / reinforcing layer 34. In addition to being a blocking layer for X-ray wheel emission, this layer can also be used as a strengthening layer to provide a strong frame to support the film to prevent distortion, especially when installed on the base ring. Using a suitable etch mask layer, in the blocking / reinforcing layer, a window 36 which is extended with the exposure range of the photomask to form a mask is etched above the film 3 2 to form a framed by the blocking / reinforcing layer. χ_ray transparent area. Of course, it is also possible to deposit the blocking / reinforcing layer on the substrate, leaving areas 36 uncovered, and generating a frame-shaped preparation area a below the X-rays that will be above the film in the blocking / reinforcing layer. The transparent area is called the first X-ray transparent mask frame area. Etching the blocking layer or sinking these layers in a way that leaves an area uncovered-10- This paper ruler applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) {Please read the precautions on the back first (Fill in this page). Assemble and print the i-print and the description of the invention by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Consumer Cooperative (A7, B7). It is a matter for the practitioner's choice. Next, an x-ray absorbing material such as, for example, a desired exposure pattern 26 of gold, Ta, Tasl, etc. is produced on the film 32 in the frame-shaped window-like region. The well-known method is accomplished using subtractive or additive methods and materials. Figure 4 shows another specific example of the present invention. In this specific example, the material 40 includes a table 42. The substrate has substantially parallel upper and lower shapes, respectively. Surfaces 46 and 47. The tabletop 4.2 has an upper surface 48. The upper and lower ring surfaces and the surface of the tabletop are parallel planes. In one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 40 has a diameter of about 100 mm and a thickness of about 2% meters of commercially available silicon wafers; the mesa 42 is also round and centered with the wafer and has a diameter of about 57 mm. The upper surface 48 of the mesa rises about 1 mm above the upper surface 46. However, also Other sizes, especially wafers of other diameters, can be used, and the above sizes are used to illustrate rather than limit the present invention. The technique discussed above is used again to etch the wafer through the mask to a predetermined depth on the substrate. An X-ray transparent film 5 is formed. As in the case of 3, the size of the film is not made to conform to a specific target size = a predetermined wafer, but it is made large enough to accommodate the expected maximum size. Although it is described as a square, it can also be circular or any other shape that is most suitable for the intended use. ° Next, it is placed on the table 4 2 above the surface 4 8-the χ-ray blocking layer 34, which is also preferably a high Young's modulus refractory metal. Similarly, the isolayer is typically about 3 microns thick.

As discussed earlier, mounting the substrate to a support base, such as mounting a silicon wafer to a N.S.T. or other support ring, can cause the film to produce some distortion. As shown in Fig. 5, the height "h" of the table is selected so that the film will not be skewed to any extent on its upper surface 48 that is "lower than the upper surface of the substrate". As shown in Fig. 5, 'on the film' The lowest point on the upper surface is point 49. A line 47 parallel to the surface of the substrate is shown after the wafer is mounted on the support base ring M. Point 4 9 remains above the surface 4 6.

As in the previous embodiments, this radiation absorbing layer contains materials commonly used in the art such as gold, gal, tantalum silicate, or any other material that can provide sufficient X-ray absorption to prevent exposure of radiation sensitive materials to the wafer These materials are useful and can be easily etched to produce the desired pattern. As discussed earlier and illustrated in the case of Figs. 3 and 4, a light-blocking / enhancing layer 60 having a first frame-shaped light-emitting transparent area 61 is placed on the radiation-absorbing layer 66. The first frame-shaped radiation transparent area 61 is consistent with the exposure range of the desired wafer. The photomask may further include an additional protective layer or surface film 67, such as a polymer material, formed on the radiation blocking / reinforcing layer 60 if necessary. The cover film preferably extends over the entire surface of the blocking / reinforcing layer including the transparent mask frame-shaped area 61, and it may include one or more cover film ventilation channels 6.8. If necessary, a second radiation blocking / strengthening layer 62 can also be placed under the film 56. This second blocking / enhancing layer 62 also has a second frame-shaped radiation transparent region 63 which is substantially the same as the first frame-shaped transparent region and is aligned with the first frame-shaped transparent region. This second layer can improve the blocking / enhancement of the X-ray stray radiation, and balance the employment changes on the surface film caused by the presence of the first blocking / enhancing layer 60.
